MSN Encarta - Archive Article - 1938: Czechoslovakia (4576 words)
The first Government of General Syrovy resigned on October 4 and was reformed on October 5, again under General Syrovy.
But the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had passed from the hands of Dr. Kamil Krofta, for many years the closest collaborator of Dr. Benes and a warm supporter of the League of Nations, into the hands of Dr. Frantisek Chvalkovsky, former Minister to Rome and a convinced adherent of Fascist orientation.
A new Government was formed by Premier Rudolf Beran, the leader of the right wing of the former Agrarian Party, a personal enemy of Dr. Benes, an opponent of alliances with the Western countries, and an old advocate of a Germanophile policy.
